The Finkel report is a climate failure

Sunday, 18 June 2017 - 11:00am to 11:30am
The Finkel Report on Australia’s energy future was meant to break the political deadlock in energy policy federally and secure the future of our electricity needs. But the Federal Coalition is deeply divided on the proposal, with some MPs saying it doesn’t give enough priority to fossil fuels. Meanwhile, the report has also been slammed as being heavily biased towards coal and gas, and as short-sighted and falling short of our Paris commitments.
 
Touted as objective and ideologically neutral, and able to bridge political divides, the report is looking more like an abject failure.
 
On this week's show we critically dissect the Finkel report with Pat Simons from Friends of the Earth’s Yes 2 Renewables Campaign, and Wendy Farmer from Voices of the Valley.
